There are two specific reasons why I liked "You Only Live Twice" which has every right to be considered as a legendary Bond movie.
(1) Bond becomes airborne when he flies an autogyro called Little Nellie and is chased by the villain's helicopters. That scene is a treat to the eyes and can be considered to be just as great as the grand underwater action sequence in "Thunderball". I feel the aerial sequence that features this autogyro perhaps became a standard for movies in the future that wanted to depict impressive aerial shots of flying objects.
(2) The set design of the lair of the SPECTRE boss is possibly one of the most elaborate movie set designs I wil have seen on celluloid. The intricacy of that set never ceases to amaze me. If that set has still been preserved to this day, I would certainly love to seep in its apparently magical aura. I wish some amusement park created a ride inspired from the sets that depicted the lair.
Besides the aforementioned reasons, I like how the SPECTRE boss' face gets revealed in this movie. Overall, everything seemed to pan out in a way that thoroughly entertained me. This movie will always be a substantial precedent for action movies that boast of incredible sets and innovative action sequences.
